Provide itemised tax reporting for exports from UK to EU
When sending goods from UK to EU, since 1st July 2026 Royal Mail is now charging new taxes.
Tax paid to the destination country
- €3 flat import duty (for items under €150.)
- Import VAT
At the payment screen, the above amounts are lumped together into one £ figure.
Please can you provide a way to view / report on the VAT paid ( so we can reclaim it)
thankyou

Not sure what you mean by reclaiming the EU import VAT? That has to be accounted for to the EU via their IOSS scheme (either via Royal Mail or direct by you).
For UK VAT you set the value as 0%

Hi - The €3 duty is not a flat fee, it is per different HS code/country of origin line. It could be multiples of €3 depending on what you are sending. The "VAT" you mention is not UK VAT, it is EU tax which is to be paid to the delivery country - you are soley collecting it from the customer and passing it on to their country's authorities (via RM). You cannot reclaim it. Technically is it classed as outside the scope of VAT. You should speak to your accountant.
